The license plate game, made for two people in one car — or two cars going the same way. TagTeam keeps ONE shared collection between two phones. Either of you taps a plate the moment you see it, and the other phone catches up on its own. No accounts, no sign-up, no ads, and nothing to argue about at the end of the trip. ONE GARAGE, TWO PHONES Start a garage, read the 8-character code out loud, and the other person joins. That's the entire setup. Up to eight people can share one collection — kids, friends, whoever's along. WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL This is the point. Log plates in a dead zone all afternoon; they queue up on your phone and sync themselves the moment you have bars again. The app opens and works with no connection at all. EVERY PLATE, DRAWN BY HAND All 101 jurisdictions — 50 states, DC, the territories, all 13 Canadian provinces and territories, and an optional pack for Mexico's 32. Each tile is an original drawing of that place's real plate: the right colours, the right slogan, the right graphic. Ones you haven't caught sit there in grey, so you can see exactly what you're hunting. SPOT IT WITHOUT LOOKING Say "Spot a plate in TagTeam" and name the state. Siri logs it and tells you what it did — which matters, because the person who sees the plate is usually the person who shouldn't be looking at a phone. RUNS, BADGES AND BRAGGING RIGHTS Name a trip and it keeps its own tally while everything still counts for life. Race to a number, split the board so every plate belongs to whoever saw it first, or just play as a team. Thirty badges — all six New England states, a Pacific and an Atlantic plate on the same day, something new after a month-long dry spell. Every finished trip becomes a card you can open and see exactly as it stood. ALSO IN THERE • A note on any sighting — "behind us at the light" • Capital, motto and two real facts for every place • Trivia built from those facts, for whoever isn't driving • Rare means rare from where you live: pick a home state and every plate's difficulty follows it — no location permission, ever • Search, and a Still-needed list with the likeliest plates first • Invite someone with a link or a QR code • A share card for the group chat, and a spreadsheet export • Ten-second undo on everything PRIVACY, PLAINLY No accounts. No tracking. No advertising. No analytics. No location. The only personal information in the app is the display name you pick for yourself. Your sightings — and a home state, if you choose one — live on your phones and in one private database, and nowhere else. Notifications are optional, off by default, and the only thing that ever involves anyone else — your phone's own push service, which delivers an encrypted message it cannot read. ## Chart rankings - #192 in Top Paid · Family (US App Store) ## Is TagTeam Plates safe?

Pick a home state in Settings and every plate's difficulty follows it — from California, California is common and Maine is epic. It's one setting for the whole garage, so both phones agree on the points. Find a plate fast: the spot list has a search box, and Still needed shows only what you haven't caught, likeliest first. Invite someone in one tap — a message with a link, or a QR code for their camera. A new phone can restore a backup from the very first screen, even with no signal, and a phone can leave a garage without touching anyone else's. The Board now shows your current run and bingo card, the sync status explains itself when you tap it, and the app works sideways for dash mounts. If syncing stopped working on the last version, this update reconnects it. The first launch downloads your garage's history once, so both phones hold exactly the same collection. ### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-22 The map now zooms on its own. Pinch the map — on the phone, on iPad, or with a trackpad — and it zooms while everything around it stays put. Before, a pinch zoomed the whole page, state info and all. There are + and - buttons too, and a Fit button to snap back to the whole continent. Tap any state, province or territory and you'll now find its official bird and flower, plus more quick facts to read out from the passenger seat. Mexican states don't have official birds or flowers, so they get an extra fact instead. Two new icons to pick for yourself: a racing car and a wave. ### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-20 No release notes. ## More apps by Steven Ermer - [Addendum.](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/addendum/id6787558572) All apps by Steven Ermer: https://appshunter.io/developer/6777496728 ## Related topics [car tag game](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/car-tag-game) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
